Remote

What it does

Remote provides a unified platform for hiring, managing, and paying global teams compliantly. Its core services include Employer of Record (EOR), Global Payroll, Contractor of Record (COR), Contractor Management, and Professional Employer Organization (PEO). The platform handles employment contracts, taxes, benefits, and compliance in over 50 countries, with in-house legal, payroll, and compliance teams in each market. Remote also offers integrations with HR tools like Workday, HiBob, and BambooHR, as well as an API-first design for custom workflows. The platform is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and ISO 27001 certified.

Who it is for

Remote serves companies of all sizes that need to hire and manage international talent without setting up local entities. It is designed for growth-stage startups, mid-market companies, and large enterprises. The platform is also used by HR platforms and technology partners that embed global employment capabilities into their own products. Specific roles include startup founders, HR professionals, finance teams, and global mobility managers.

Why it matters

Global employment is complex due to varying laws, tax codes, and compliance requirements across countries. Remote simplifies this by providing owned end-to-end infrastructure, reducing the risk of misclassification and legal issues. Customers report significant cost savings (e.g., over $500,000 annually) and operational efficiency, as Remote handles administrative burdens that would otherwise require multiple full-time employees. The platform enables faster onboarding (average 2.3 days vs. standard 30 days) and provides full visibility into payroll and compliance in a single system.

Launch signal

Remote was founded by Job van der Voort and has raised Series C funding. The company has grown to serve over 4,000 customers and is recognized as a leading global HR platform. It has built a strong partner ecosystem, including strategic technology partners and a marketplace for integrations. The platform continues to expand its services, such as Remote MCP for AI agent integration and new features like Device Management and Mobility & Relocation.

Brand and naming

The name "Remote" directly reflects the company's focus on enabling remote work and global employment. It is short, memorable, and positions the brand as the go-to infrastructure for distributed teams. The tagline "Global employment runs on Remote" reinforces its role as the backbone for global hiring. The brand emphasizes trust, compliance, and reliability, with a clean, professional visual identity.
